General Motors is recalling 162,000 Hummer H3 SUVs (model year 2006 to 2010) in the US to rectify loose clips on the vehicle’s hood vent louvres. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the integral clip-tabs on the louvres may fracture, causing them to rattle against the hood and become loose. If this goes unnoticed, additional clips could fracture and the louvres could fly off the H3.
Remember what happened to Felipe Massa at last year’s Hungarian GP? Now imagine a long and sharp louvre flying off a Hummer, scary isn’t it?
Dealers will apply an adhesive to the said louvres to secure it, free of charge. US owners of the H3 are advised to contact their dealers for details. There are some H3s running around in Malaysia, and I noticed that Chevrolet dealer Cergazam had a few of these hulks for sale (not sure if they still do, the Hummer brand is history now). From now on, I’ll make a mental note to stay clear of any Hummers on our roads!
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.

when the toyota is brave enough to recall their cars,
the other company follow.
before this they just hide the problem.
hehe
Toyota very “brave”. They’re so “brave” they’re willing to pay the US G to recall cars!
Toyota was FORCED to recall.
Other makers do so before getting a lawsuit
Even this ‘tough’ American brand also has recall.
Just add the screw..wHawHawHawHahaha
i’m sure malaysian Car wont be affected, as usual.
No recalls are related to malaysian car, we usually get better car than US. lol
a convertible h3
I’m not too worried. Hardly see any Hummer here…. near where I live la…. in KL, don’t know la…. maybe a few thousands ;-)
I am more worried about flying debris, pebbles, stones etc from our malaysian-type lorries. Follow to close, sure kena one. Want to overtake, they drive faster that Schumacher in a Ferrari.
:(
Aiyahhh…. typo pulak …. :( Sorry ah…
lol… USF’s will be affected?
Hummers are getting more and more common in Malaysia nowadays…. Go anywhere also will find one….
Malaysia’s Hummer recall?
No need la. Malaysian life are cheap. Mati ramai-ramai pun takpe……
get a H2 and ram on those H3s!!
Ugh Hummer, among the worst in fuel efficiency. It’s no longer cool in the US to own one, they say guys who drive this are compensating for something, haha.
Better tell Horatio Caine to be careful.
